Grow your ML skills with free offer from Coursera

We’re partnering with Coursera, one of the largest online learning platforms in the world, on a new ML Academy to help you sharpen your machine learning (ML) skills and learn about the latest ML technologies from Google Cloud at no-cost. The academy has three core components for you to take advantage of in July and August:

Join the ML Academy webinar to get started

Our July 22 webinar will kick off the ML Academy. During the webinar, Audrey Holmes, Senior Data Scientist at Coursera, will discuss the current market for individuals with ML skills. We will discuss key challenges ML practitioners are facing and how Google Cloud’s products and solutions are addressing these challenges. Doug Kelly, Google Cloud’s Head of AI Learning Services Portfolio, will discuss the best ways to gain ML skills and share a demo of how to train and serve a custom TensorFlow model on Vertex AI, Google Cloud’s machine learning model training and development platform. You’ll have an opportunity to ask questions throughout the webinar. 

After the webinar, you’ll receive an email with a one month free* offer from Coursera for the new Preparing for Google Cloud Certification: Machine Learning Engineer Professional Certificate. Can’t attend the webinar live? You can watch the webinar on-demand after July 22 and the offer can be claimed until August 31, 2021. 

Keep growing your ML skills with Coursera

There are nine courses in the Preparing for Google Cloud Certification: Machine Learning Engineer Professional Certificate. The courses will cover ML fundamentals, introduction to TensorFlow, production ML systems, and more to help you prepare for the Google Cloud Professional Machine Learning Engineer certification exam. The courses will include labs so you can apply the concepts you’re learning and gain real world experience. 

Demonstrate your skills with badges 

To access even more labs and gain skill badges along the way to demonstrate your knowledge, sign up for the skills challenge. When you select the ML and AI skills challenge track, you’ll get 30 days free access to labs that will walk you through BigQuery, AI Platform, ML APIs, Explainable AI, and more. 

To earn a skill badge, you’ll need to complete the labs and take a final assessment to test your skills. You’ll have the chance to earn three skill badges through the challenge: Perform Foundational Data, ML, and AI tasks; Integrate with Machine Learning APIs; and Explore Machine Learning Models with Explainable AI.
